  • This year, I couldn't get the car running until 10:16 am. With the parade starting at 10:00 am it meant I had to jump in at the end, where the LO Crew normally walks, but also about 1/3rd of the way through!

  • So Betsy's on John jumped in the Isetta and I have him the camera and set him loose.

  • Not bad...

  • Carol Mulready pushing seeds.
